Susie, a newly graduated BBA in accounting, has started a new job with the state budgeting
office. Susie has responsibility over expense reimbursements. The state has a travel policy
stating that a state employee may be reimbursed up to $90 per night for a hotel room and up to
$40 per day for meals, as long as the employee turns in food receipts. The first expense account
Susie works on, the employee has a hotel receipt for $130 a night but no food expenses. Susie
processes the reimbursement for $90. The employee becomes irate as his reading of the travel
policy is that he can be reimbursed for $130 a night for hotel and food with a receipt. The
employee claims this has never been a problem in the past and has always been reimbursed $130
a night whether for hotel only or both hotel and food.
What should Susie do and why? Use ethical reasoning to support your answer.
